All looks good .... no infection or anything, it has muscle use. But noticed something last night .... the eye that was injured doesn't reflect light . What's that mean ? Damaged rods and cones ?
Update...Tut's damaged eye

Why don't you cover his good eye and do some tests, toss a stick or a ball for him. Or hold out a food item in front of his face see if he follows it with his injured eye. I have no idea about the lack of reflection.

That's on this evening's agenda, Dan.
I hate to admit this ; but I talked to some guys that work fast dogs on whether I should put him down or not if he is definitly blind in that eye.I considered it because loss of sight in an eye results in depth perception issues ... not good in an animal that moves at 45 mph, alot of broken shoulders and legs due to not avoiding obstructions like trees and fences.The consensus was 'no'. That he'll adapt. Yeah !!!

That's a hard thought, I wouldn't have considered it at all. If anything I'd wait for the dog to get injured in a situation where I could determine that it was the fault of the bad eye, if it's indeed bad.

One of my best frends has lost an eye, but that didn´t impede him to won 5 times the national combat category in Sanda fighting.
He has gone to China to compete and he is a great martial artist. He had adapted for sure. Tut is going to be good, i guess. -

Covered up his good eye today and played around the yard ... he has sight. Not sure how much...don't even care . It was funtional enough to play.
